Chiropractic care has a well-deserved reputation for helping heal back and neck pain — but you may be amazed to learn how much more it can do.
Chiropractic care is an essential part of overall wellness. Our body lets us know when something is wrong, and it’s important to listen to those signs. When those signs point to joint dysfunction, the cause of misalignment could be one of many mechanical, chemical or emotional reasons. Sometimes, the mechanical causes may be repetitive stress injuries. Sitting with poor posture at our desks and typing all day can cause problems including carpal tunnel, neck, upper back or lower back pain. Finally, there are also microtraumas that refer to pain caused by trauma to the body.
Non-physical factors also contribute to joint pains, such as smoking, drinking and poor diet. This is due to the chemical imbalance created in the body. All of these forms of joint dysfunction can benefit immensely from chiropractic care.
Chiropractic care helps to remove postural imbalances and structural misalignments that can accumulate in our bodies over time. This is by focusing on improving the function of your nervous system, working to free it of interference. By restoring spinal function with Chiropractic adjustments, nerve interference by misaligned vertebrae is removed. Allowing your nervous system to function optimally will improve your overall health.
How does Chiropractic work?
Chiropractic physicians use firm but gentle manual pressure to restore proper structure and function to the spine. And it’s not just about the spine. Chiropractors adjust every joint – wrists for carpal tunnel syndrome, elbows, shoulders, ankles and knees, just to name a few. Chiropractic care is commonly used by athletes, dancers, gardeners and others engaged in physical activity.
What’s so special about the spine?
The spine houses the spinal cord, a bundle of nervous tissue and support cells that carry messages from your brain to the rest of your body — to every cell, tissue and organ.
The spine itself is made up of 24 vertebrae that protect these delicate fibers. Connected ligaments and muscles help support the upright posture of the body. Although the lower portion of the spine holds most of the body’s weight, each segment relies upon the strength of the others to function properly. Accidents, sports injuries, heavy lifting and poor posture are among the many causes of impaired spinal function, which may result in neck and back pain, joint pain, headaches and a host of other conditions. A well-functioning spine is key to health.
